ETHICS IN SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE LIGHT OF INNOVATION:

A NECESSARY REFLECTION

Abstract

This article aims to present a literature review, which aims to know studies on ethics and social
responsibility within innovation. In order to carry out the object of this study, articles, dissertations and theses will be selected on the platforms of CAPES, Scielo and Google Scholar Periodicals, as well as legislation and other documents that contributed to a better understanding of this theme. In this context, the purpose of this article is to investigate, compare and typify academic studies, and if advances and/or challenges were noticed in this systematic review that could contribute to future innovations. As a result of the research, we highlight a greater concern
of the business sector to combine its profits with a society that is more connected and concerned
with contemporary human values such as gender, environment and sustainability issues,
collaborative culture, and community and global participatory incidence. We also verified that
the studies on the themes have not been exhausted, and further studies involving longer periods
are suggested, in an attempt to confirm or refute the results found, as well as the association of
other related factors.
